Tophattem_dawg [he/him, comrade/them]

ay mates Tophattem_dawg here, i may be new here, but you may know me from somewhere else, I’ll let you do the thinking on that end though

But who am I? artist? writer?? philosopher??? musician??? GAMER??? I’d say all of the above in one way or another, but most importantly i am just guy from the internet, and the internet can be pretty bad, but unfortunately you can’t exactly not use it these days, so let’s try to make it good

oh and yes i am friends with lelkins we go bowling on the weekends (digital bowling, we live very far away)

    It is true that the difficulty curve is a bit off, though I personally imagine it was moreso because I was still pretty mediocre at juggling the game mechanics, to me atleast if you go the intended progression route (the one that is basically pointed out to you via the newspapers) the difficulty curve is perfectly, well curved, it is true that it is basically impossible to accommodate balancing for the player choosing to go to the hardest area at the start of the game and that’s perfectly fine, it’s also impossible to ensure the game doesn’t get too easy if you plug in all the easy modifiers and too hard if you plug in all the hard modifiers, its your game and the devs trust you to deck it out to your desire but the base experience of going through all the areas in the suggested order would be the one most people prefer and obviously the one with the most even and balanced difficulty curve

    Obviously that’s just my two cents though, I still hear and respect your experience on the matter

    Skill issue lol.

    Well that’s just uncalled for

    Personally I think it’s because those succdems know their audience is composed of unironic nazis and monarchists who would yank their pizzle until the casing ripped over game mechanics that let them genocide jews, LGBTQ+ peoples, the disabled, and the Left. Also because they want money and getting their game banned from a bunch of countries for putting the crime part into their war game would probably make them lose money.

    I obviously wasn’t suggesting that they make the Holocaust a focus tree or anything like that, I just feel that it’s lack of presence is more strengthening the Chud side of the community than weakening it, since you know a big thing was “we did not commit the Holocaust” yet they still hate all the people who were killed in the Holocaust and want to kill them again? Yet another paradox by Paradox games. I just wish it was one of those events where you would get some sort of negative modifier to really show that the Nazis were bad in this game about WW2 that seems to shy away from it for god knows what reason

    Regarding the money I think the fact they somehow managed to finagle a WW2 game to a pegi 7 on the ratings shows with how much dignity and earnest they are willing to tackle the subject of world war 2, all to sell to 7 year olds I guess? Do you even know any 7 year olds that could play this game?

    But back to your actual post, very enjoyable reading, hope you do more whenever the occasion strikes you!

    Thank you :)
